Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its amine functionality and fluorinated backbone enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to modulate polarity and improve pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized ligands for receptor targeting in central nervous system therapies.
